Social Contract Development Article

For anyone who missed it, I've posted a new article on the site. It's exploring a nuance of Edwards' Big Model, in connection with how social contract develops in practice. I am interested in thoughts on the subject. I'm not even sure it's all that significant an insight, but in the discussions I was reading people seemed to be talking around it without recognizing it, so many it's worth something.

Yeah, the link would help, wouldn't it?

Social Contract Development in Gaming.

Thank you for covering up my rambles in the woods article which had been up there WAY too long as the Featured Story.

Yeah--well, I always thought that particular "article" should have been a "blog entry", but since I'm trying to sort out the articles in the archives from 2000 still, it was going to be a while before I actually was able to change that.

Of course, I'm not sure whether the drivel I've posted is any improvement. Thus far the only two comments I've gotten are yours and a Spammer I had to delete.

Someone posted a comment on the article, saying that he found it through a link from the Atlas Games site. I've been "wasting valueless time" looking for such a link; if anyone's search-fu is better than mine and they can come up with it, I'd love to read the context in which it was cited.

Thanks.

can't find it either. I tried it, but I think I'm only at 'google 1@8' or something :P
